Mario Kart World Preorders Begin for Switch 2

Mario Kart World Preorders Now Available

The highly anticipated Mario Kart World launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. This groundbreaking open-world racing adventure lets players freely explore the Mushroom Kingdom with hundreds of iconic characters and vehicles. Preorders are currently available at major retailers.

Mario Kart World Standard Edition

$79.99 at Target
Available at Walmart - $79.00
Available at Target - $79.99
Available at Best Buy - $79.99
Available at GameStop - $79.99

Mario Kart World breaks from modern gaming trends by offering just one complete edition at $79.99. Players can purchase it standalone or bundled with the Switch 2 console.

Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

$499.99 at Best Buy

The console bundle offers $30 savings compared to separate purchases. Note this version includes a digital copy rather than physical media - a consideration for collectors.

Premium Price Reflects Ambitious Scale

At $79.99, Mario Kart World commands a $10 premium over current-gen AAA titles. While price increases are never ideal, this likely reflects the game's unprecedented scope and production values.

Revolutionary Racing Experience

Mario Kart World represents Nintendo's boldest racing evolution yet. The seamless open world draws inspiration from Forza Horizon, with dynamic weather and day/night cycles that realistically affect races.

Key innovations include:

• A massive 24-driver grid exceeds previous entries
• True open-world driving allows exploration beyond tracks
• New Knockout Tour mode tests endurance across the map
• Relaxed Free Roam enables casual exploration

Nintendo will showcase additional features during their April 17 Direct presentation. Early impressions suggest this could redefine kart racing.
